Patek Philippe reveals their latest watch designs at Watches & Wonders 2021: Four new Nautilus watch designs, two Calatrava “Clous de Paris” watches and a new Annual Calendar model.

At this year’s Watches & Wonders Geneva 2021, Patek Philippe revealed an array of new watches, including four new Nautilus designs, a new grand complication with a perpetual calendar, a revival of the famous Calatrava with the “Clous de Paris” bezel, and an Annual Calendar with a round steel case and integrated metal bracelet.

New Patek Philippe 2021 Releases

Launched in 1976, the Nautilus model with its stainless steel case and rounded octagonal bezel drew inspiration from a ship’s porthole and quickly became a favorite for its casually elegant look and robust water resistance.

Now following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A, Patek Philippe has unveiled a new olive green sunburst dial – a color that has never been seen before in the Nautilus collection.

This new colored dial will also be available in a version featuring a bezel set with 32 baguette diamonds, cut perfectly to match the octagonal bezel with rounded corners.

A new Ref. 5990/1R-001 Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph has also been revealed in rose gold with a blue sunburst dial and two time zones, a flyback chronograph, and an analog date display.

Meanwhile the new Nautilus Haute Joaillerie revisits a 2013-2018 design and has been given a random full diamond pave setting (also known as “snow-setting”), featuring 2553 flawless Top Wesselton brilliant-cut diamonds in a rose gold setting.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Stainless Steel Olive Green Ref. 5711/1A-014

Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A-010, Patek Philippe has unveiled a new olive green sunburst dial – a color that has never been seen before in the Nautilus collection – replacing the current 5711/1A-010 blue-black graduated dial.

Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris” 2021 Releases

Of all the Calatrava watches since 1932, one model, in particular, has received the most attention – the one with the bezel decorated with a guilloched “Clous de Paris” pattern introduced in 1985.

It is this “Clous de Paris” bezel design Patek Philippe has revived for this year’s new Calatrava designs along with the introduction of an updated manually wound movement, a slightly enlarged case and hour markers in gold for a sleek refined appearance.

Available in two versions, the 2021 Calatrava comes in rose gold with a silvery grained dial and a white gold model with a charcoal gray dial.

Origin and key dates of the Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris”

1932 – Launch of the first Calatrava, the famous Ref. 96 (the first Patek Philippe model with a reference number) with the manually wound caliber 12-120.

1934 – The Ref. 96D (“D” short for Décor) features the same manually wound caliber 12-120, the same round dial with applied hour markers, and the same slightly curved strap lugs as the Ref. 96, but distinguishes itself with a bezel decorated with the guilloched “Clous de Paris” motif.

1953 – The Ref. 2526 is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch endowed with a self-winding movement, the caliber 12-600 AT.

1972 – The Ref. 3520D with a manually wound movement (caliber 177) combines a “Clous de Paris” bezel, an hours/minutes dial with Roman numerals, and a case with straight strap lugs.

1982 – The Ref. 3796 with a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96 is powered by a self-winding caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds.

1985 – Launch of the famous Ref. 3919 “Clous de Paris” with a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement, subsidiary seconds, white dial with black lacquered Roman numerals and straight lugs. This model, was produced for 20 years and became one of the most celebrated timepieces in the world of horology.

1988 – The Ref. 3992 with a “Clous de Paris” bezel and straight lugs is powered by a self-winding, ultra-thin caliber 240 movement.

2000 – The Ref. 5107 equipped with the self-winding caliber 315 S C movement features a dial with sweep seconds and an aperture date.

2000 – The Ref. 5115 “Clous de Paris” with the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement echoes the dipping curved strap lugs that recall the Refs. 96 and 96D.

2001 – The self-winding caliber 240 movement powers the Ref. 5120 “Clous de Paris” with hour and minute hands, Roman numerals and straight lugs.

2004 – The Ref. 5196 combines a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds as well as a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96.

2006 – The Ref. 5119 with elongated slender Roman numerals is a reinterpretation of the Ref. 3919 in a slightly larger case (36mm instead of 33.5mm) and it retains the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement as well as the straight lugs.

Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris” White Gold Ref. 6119G-001

Patek Philippe’s new Calatrava models features a guilloched pattern also known as Clous de Paris, around the outside of the bezel, along with faceted applied white gold hour-markers, dauphine-style hours/minutes hands and a white gold case.

Watches & Wonders 2021: Breitling New Releases

Breitling reveals their latest watch designs at Watches & Wonders 2021: The Premier Heritage Collection featuring six new Chronograph, Duograph and Datora models.

Breitling’s new releases from Watches & Wonders 2021 include six new Premier Heritage Collection pieces inspired by Breitling’s three-generation of founders.

Léon Breitling, who founded the company in 1884, originally patented a simple timer/tachymeter that could measure any speed between 15 and 150 km/h, an invention featured in the 1906 Vitesse pocket watch.

In 1915, his son, Gaston, created one of the first wrist-worn chronographs with an independent pusher at 2 o’clock. This innovation separated the start, stop, and reset functions from the crown, making it infinitely more practical for timing sports.

Then in 1934, Léon’s grandson, Willy, patented the second independent chronograph pusher at 4 o’clock.

Along with being a watchmaker, Willy also understood people’s desire for elegant and glamorous timepieces, leading him to design the original Premier watches in the 1940s.

“This heritage-inspired design with a stylish modern twist embodies some of Breitling’s most famous innovations, and revives Breitling’s legacy of inventing the modern chronograph. This truly is our heritage revived,” says Georges Kern, Breitling CEO.

The new generation of Premiers – the Breitling Premier Heritage Collection has been designed to bring the timeless elegance back to life and includes pieces from three specific categories: The Chronograph, The Duograph, and The Datora.

Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 Releases

Like its 1940s precessors, the 40 mm Premier Heritage Chronograph is manually wound and is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, which is based on the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.

With the new Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic, Hublot has achieved the near-impossible by creating the first-ever bright yellow ceramic timepiece.

Available in a limited edition of 250 pieces, the sunny bright Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic has been four years in the making and created through a unique process entirely developed and produced by the Manufacture’s R&D department and its Metallurgy & Materials laboratory.

Powered by the Unico HUB1280, Hublot’s bright Yellow Magic ceramic encompasses the movement and the 42-mm case and its bezel. It also carries over to the Arabic numerals and hands and continues right down to the structured yellow rubber strap.

Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire Technical Specifications

In 2016 Hublot created the first Big Bang Unico Sapphire crystal watch, and now at this year’s Watches & Wonders event, have revealed the Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire – the first Big Bang with an integrated case and bracelet made entirely from sapphire crystal.

“For such an exceptional creation, we opted for the new Automatic Tourbillon caliber with its sapphire bridges, the transparency of which creates a stunning spectacle,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO. “The act of creating an integrated case and bracelet from sapphire was, however, deemed impossible. But we were the first brand to gain perfect mastery of sapphire, industrializing it and making it reproducible in series production.

It took us five years to bring our first sapphire cases to life – and almost as long for the bracelet. Producing both from sapphire and integrating them together is the pinnacle of the in-depth work undertaken by all of Hublot’s teams. We are proud to be the ones writing the first lines in this new chapter in the history of materials”.

The Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire case has been reconstructed to remove almost all of the visible screws and overhaul the case’s general geometry to integrate it with the sapphire bracelet. Hublot also developed inserts and attachments to allow light through every component.

In terms of the movement, the in-house developed and manufactured HUB6035 automatic manufacture caliber is the beating heart of the piece and is a perfect balance between the micro-rotor at 12 o’clock and the tourbillon at 6 o’clock.

Launched in 2020, the Big Bang Integral fully integrates the bracelet into the case to achieve a visually balanced design. It is this platform Hublot decided to use as its “High Jewellery” piece for 2020.

Since the “One Million $ Model” reveal in 2007, Hublot has released a unique piece of High Jewellery each year that more often than not exceeds $1,000,000 and this year Hublot has presented the one-off Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery watch.

Featuring Hublot’s in-house automatic tourbillon caliber housed in a case and bracelet set with 484 baguette-cut diamonds for a total of 31 carats, the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is a fusion of Hublot’s innovation and know-how with High Jewellery in a single 43-mm-diameter piece, all in perfect balance.

“Every year, for the last 14 years, we have created a piece or a collection of exceptional High Jewellery,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO. “This year, the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is our 30th unique piece of High Jewellery. Our primary goal: to surpass all our limits, to challenge ourselves to go beyond our initial expertise of watchmaking, and to achieve the exceptional with watches that are entirely set with precious stones and smash all the records in terms of working hours, the number of carats, the combination of types of setting, and selling point. In so doing, our watchmaking know-how – in terms of mechanisms and complications – and our identity – the fusion of materials – remain essential. Hundreds of hours are spent on preparation – from the design, with regard to setting the precious stones, to searching for and cutting the stones, and to the setting itself – because setting a watch like the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is a true technical and aesthetic achievement. We never give in to doubt because we like to make the impossible possible.”
